*OPTIONAL ADD-ONS

1. Each day, the hosts can provide you with an inspiring note and question that sets the table for you to maximize your thinking and expand your mind to possibilities. ($10 extra a day for notes and questions)

2. Contemplate and Create with a Certified Coach on Site

Your host at the Sanctuary is a certified Leadership & Life Purpose Coach and is ready to meet you if you desire. Providing a safe, non-judgmental environment, you can engage with Christine to help you think through and process a variety of issues including your calling, life goals, leadership, connecting or re-connecting with God or work issues while taking a brisk walk around the farm or just sitting in the gazebo looking at the ripples on the pond or the majesty of the mountains.

This experience includes two nights lodging, two coaching sessions and contemplative questions so you leave with clarity or a plan to thrive in life. ($200 extra for a two night stay although many guests choose to have their second coaching session once they get back home and have a chance to do some "homework.").

Guest access
Guests have access to the Sanctuary suite, which includes a full kitchen, living room, bedroom and bathroom. They may enjoy the backyard, pond, gazebo, and acres of our property. Guests may park in front of the Sanctuary suite.

Other things to note
It is important to note that the Sanctuary is a place to unwind and unplug. We hope it's an opportunity to slow down, enjoy nature, and dream big. For that reason, we do not have wifi. Guests are welcome to use their own mobile hot spot, or if an emergency or need arises, guests can contact us about using a temporary hot spot.

The Sanctuary is also a working farm, so don't be alarmed if you hear the cows mooing or the sounds of a tractor or four wheeler.

My work: Lynchburg Regional Business Alliance
Lives in Bedford, Virginia
Animal lover. Certified Leadership & Life Purpose coach. Non-profit executive. I leave my fulfilling day job in the city and drive home to our farm. This is where I exhale. I thrive off of helping others find peace, purpose and passion in their personal and professional lives. My husband and I share our Sanctuary property with others so they can experience what we have experienced here......the tranquility, the beauty and the opportunity to leave the noise of life. If you stay here, expect to de-plug. Expect a working farm environment with cows as neighbors and chirping tree frogs as your bedtime song. If you enjoy conversation and fellowship with your hosts, we welcome that or we can totally leave you alone. What we love: God, family, friends. Great food. Time in nature. Each other.
